Abstract
Method and apparatus for setting the contact elements (test pins) of a printed circuit board test device, which are accommodated in one or two test adapters, to the contact points, provided on one or both sides, of a printed circuit board (series) to be tested, wherein said printed circuit board (series) comprises various subsets of contact points and suitable alignment means with respect to the adapters, in particular two reference holes or reference edges. The new and inventive feature is considered to consist in the fact that at least one subset of the contact elements (S) of one or both adapters (BF, BA; TF, TA), independently of at least one further subset of the contact elements (H), and the alignment means (T) of one or both adapters are set relative to one another.
